enjoying the thin white duke remix of the killers?

so many pictures on my blog, thats unusual.

guess i've had time. havent been able to play games without swapping my roommates card for mine. my radeon 9800 pro keeps restarting my system. :(

watching tv, i came across a show that was talking about addictions, then it focuses on this kid my age with an addiction to video games. he had to go to rehab. his parents were crying.

video games.

i was like wtf? is that me too? it made sense. i don't smoke, i don't drink habitually.

how many girlfriends have i lost? how much time have i wasted? how much money? did i give up my chance to fame? all because of the games?

i concluded that i was addicted to video games. i looked at my family history. nearly everyone on my dads side deals with addiction. we are all guilty of some kind of gluttony. although it seems to confom specifically to our personalities. and i am the first to admit it.

lets look at the facts.

my grandmother: smoking
my father: smoking
my aunt: gambling
my uncle: drinking
my cousins: smoking (weed)
me: video games

its a sad realization., but i choose to fight it. i didn't need to pay a therapist, and i won't need to.

please, if you know someone addicted to video games, its real. don't let it go by, they could be wasting the best years of their life.
